I am a person who finds it special that God speaks to me and humbling to think that God might use me to speak to others.

Scripture: Luke (NIV) 11:2 He (Jesus) said to them (His disciples), “When you pray, say: ‘(Our) Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come. 3 Give us each day our daily bread.4 Forgive usour sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.’” Observation: Jesus did not teach his disciples to pray: Give me my bread; forgive me my sins; lead me not into temptation. He was not teaching them to pray alone, but to pray as a group. And when they pray as an individual, they should be consciously aware that they are not alone in following Jesus. Application: In praying for my needs, I need to be more aware that those around me have needs too. Even when praying for forgiveness, I need to remember others need forgiveness too. When I come to the Lord with my sins, I can remember that others sin too. I need the merciful God to forgive me in the same way my brother or sister needs the merciful God to forgive them. I need God’s help in overcoming temptations, and those around me need God’s help also. Prayer: Lord, we are a needy people. We need your provision, your forgiveness, and your protection.
